AdGuard Pro: Safari Ad Blocker

Usability is seamless, with an intuitive interface that makes setup and daily use effortless, even for less tech-savvy users. Performance is outstanding, effectively blocking ads, trackers, and unwanted content in real time without slowing down browsing or draining battery. The Design is clean, modern, and functional, with clear menus and thoughtful layouts that enhance the user experience. When it comes to Features, it goes beyond simple ad-blocking with DNS filtering, privacy protection, and customizable rules, offering exceptional control over your online environment. Finally, the Value is excellent, providing premium capabilities and robust protection at a price that feels more than justified. AdGuard Pro is a must-have for anyone serious about privacy and a smooth, clutter-free internet experience.

I’ve loved this app for many years - it’s one of the best ad-blocking solutions for iOS. AdGuard Pro is simple to use yet offers powerful customization options. The Safari content blocker effectively removes ads and annoyances while keeping pages fast and clean. The DNS filtering module (the best part of this app), with support for DNSSEC, adds another layer of protection, blocking trackers and unwanted content across all apps and connections, not just in Safari. The ability to choose from multiple DNS providers or add custom rules makes it incredibly flexible, whether you’re focused on privacy, security, or performance. Unlike some other blockers, AdGuard Pro works reliably within iOS restrictions while offering a smooth experience with minimal battery impact. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their browsing experience and overall device privacy. Highly recommended!

This is the most comprehensive ad/tracker blocking solution I’ve ever used (I’ve used many other “content blockers”... WeBlock comes close but lacks some of AdGuard Pro’s key features) The ability to choose from a variety of block lists has proved to be very useful. I found the best combo of lists for my needs after a day or two of internet use. The system-wide privacy module is great as well (the VPN feature). I’ve only enabled the three suggested hosts lists (might be overkill) and I notice that many of my apps now exclude ads (like banner ads in Pandora, Speedtest, and games). Best of all is the ability to see the log of what connections my device has been making in order to diagnose which additional ad/tracker connections I want to block. It’s also great just to see how many trackers I’m avoiding now! I’ve been told trackers slow down overall load times so that’s a major plus. Only downside for me is with the speed of the custom DNS service choices (which isn’t AdGuard’s fault). I was really hoping the Google DNS or OpenDNS services would help with response times, but I’ve found that sticking to the default system DNS option yields the fastest page response times, so I don’t use this feature. Overall an amazingly feature-rich application which I couldn’t live without on both my iPhone and Mac! Highly recommend.
